When the tall and sturdy Hongyun monk, the first monk of Jiming Temple, accompanied by several military generals, came to Sun Ning, who was standing on the cross street and looking around, he was giving orders again and again with a serious face.

"Spread my will, if there is anyone in Jinling City who dares to resist again, he will be killed! However, all the people in our army must not disturb the people in the city, let alone hurt and loot at will, otherwise they will all be punished by military law1!

"Also, find the Gu family as soon as possible, I want to live!"

It wasn't until those subordinates responded to the order again and again and hurriedly left that the Hongyun monk took a step forward and said: "Amitabha, Your Majesty can think of the safety of the people of Jinling, it is really compassionate, and the little monk admires it." ”

Sun Ning turned around slightly and looked at the other party with a smile: "You are the master of Jiming Temple?" ”

"Don't dare, the first Hongyun of the Little Monk Jiming Temple, see Your Majesty! In front of His Majesty, who in the world dares to say a big word? Although he is a monk, he is very worldly, and when he speaks, he actually bows down in a proper manner.

But Sun Ning also sat on the horse and accepted his big salute, and then raised his hand lightly: "Flat." Let me ask you, why did you help the imperial court open the city gates this time? Aren't you a native of Jinling in Jiming Temple, you should always be with the Gu family. ”

Hongyun got up calmly, but his heart was shocked.

He knew very well that this question was very crucial, and whether the next answer could satisfy His Majesty the Emperor would determine the next survival and disgrace of the entire Jiming Temple.

So after swallowing his saliva slightly, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty Mingjian, although my Jiming Temple is a Jinling temple, most of our monks are local people in Jinling, but we are the people of Dayue."

"Now that Your Majesty has led the imperial army to come to rebel, I, Jiming Temple, should assist the imperial court, recapture Jinling, and sweep away the rebellious people like the Gu family."

"Haha, it's rare that you and other monks can still know how to be loyal to the monarch and love the country. Very good, very good! Sun Ning smiled with satisfaction, and was naturally relieved when he fell into Hongyun's eyes, it seems that Jiming Temple will be able to gain many benefits next.

"I have written down your merits, but now is not the time to reward your merits, I need people like you who are extremely familiar with everything in Jinling to offer advice, are you willing to move forward with me until Jinling is completely pacified?" Sun Ning looked at the other party again and asked.

This naturally made Hongyun even more satisfied, and immediately responded: "Your Majesty has a will, how dare the little monk disobey?" Not only the little monks, but also the monks of Jiming Temple, and the eight hundred warrior monks are all willing to serve the imperial court. ”

"That's very good. Let your warrior monks be your guides, and lead my army to occupy all the yamen and treasury in the city, and proclaim to the people of the city, that they should stay at home in peace, and that as long as there is no rebellion, the court will keep his whole family safe. ”

"Yes, the little monk will make arrangements." Hongyun was busy, and these things were really easy for them.

With the influence of Jiming Temple among the people, it is not too difficult to appease the people who have been disturbed, not to mention that they don't need to contribute to the trouble now. As for getting to the key points, it's a breeze.

So, as a group of monks quickly led the way, a detachment of officers and troops rushed towards all parts of the city at a faster speed.

They either attacked the remnants of the Gu family who were still trying to make the last resistance, or drove the scattered people so that they would not disturb the entire city, or they sent a considerable part of their men to extinguish the fires that were raging everywhere and defend the key yamen and warehouses.

When it was close to dusk, when Sun Ning and his entourage finally arrived at the Gu family's mansion, which was quite magnificent, resplendent and carved beams, the chaos in the city had been well controlled.

However, along the way, you can still see a lot of post-war damage and casualties.

Shops and houses collapsed due to the fire and emitted black smoke, and hundreds of corpses were still pouring in the streets and alleys, but I don't know whether they were killed by the official army or by the Gu family's rout......

This made Sun Ning, who had successfully arrived at the mansion he had been here, look quite unhappy, and when he entered the Gu Mansion and saw the halls and courtyards that had been burned out in time, they were still burned and swept away, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

"What about the people who take care of the family? Could their head of the family, Gu Tang, and the others who are in charge of the house be captured alive? After Sun Ning swept the situation in front of him, he asked loudly.

"Back to Your Majesty, when the ministers led the army to kill in, the house was already empty, and only fires broke out everywhere," a general also replied with some chagrin......

They thought that they would be able to gain a lot of benefits in addition to making great achievements in the Gu Mansion first, but in the end, what they started was a mess.

A huge Gu house, not only did not see any living people, but even a few valuable things were left. Obviously, before the city was broken, the Gu family had fled early.

"Find them quickly, it's better to live!" Sun Ning snorted, and there was a worry in his heart.

From the current point of view, it is impossible for the Gu family to escape from Jinling, after all, these days, the entire Jinling is surrounded by a large army like an iron bucket, not to mention a family of hundreds of people, even one or two, don't want to run out silently under such circumstances.

However, even if people are really still hiding in this Jinling City, it is not so easy to find.

After all, Jinling has long become the private property of the Gu family, not to mention the three caves of the cunning rabbit, it is thirty caves, and it is not difficult for them.

And Sun Ning is really not good, if he really comes to Dasuo City, then Jinling City will be a complete mess.

In the final analysis, it was the strength of the Gu family that caused them to not be able to take the city in the first place, otherwise, like Hangzhou and Suzhou, they would break the city in less than a day, and no matter how much preparation those wealthy families had, it would be impossible for them to hide before the city was broken.

And what is even more troublesome is that once they are really allowed to hide and wait for the opportunity to move, Sun Ning will have many hidden worries if he wants to give orders in Jinling and make the next arrangement. Who knows how strong this force will be and when it will suddenly come out and cause trouble?

Once the target turns from light to dark, the difficulty of dealing with it will increase tenfold.

At this time, a voice sounded from outside the door: "Amitabha, is Your Majesty worried that you can't find someone from the Gu family?" ”

Sun Ning's spirit suddenly lifted when he heard this, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Master Hongyun, do you know where they are hiding now?" ”

It was the good fortune who had just arranged everything and then rushed to show his loyalty to the emperor.

At this time, he also seemed quite excited, if he really helped the emperor find and capture the Gu family, the credit should not be under the help of Kaicheng, so the two major credits in hand, will definitely ensure that Jiming Temple will never lose power in Jinling.
